      Thanks for the recommendations. Those prices are about the same for a frame with suspension and steering components, but I'm looking at just a bare frame. I have a complete donor car I'm trying to find a frame for. I'll try talking to those other shops to see if they've ever made a frame for a C5 drivetrain and suspension. The problem I've run into, is hardly anyone is doing this with C5 parts, everyone is making frames for C4 parts. I've spoken to a few shops and the reason given, is because of the width of the C5.

      I've measured 76 inches between my fenders and the C5 is 73.5 inches. So even if I give myself a 1 inch buffer on each side, I have 74 inches to fit the C5 parts. I'm sure there will be some challenges with it, but it looks possible. Aside from Rockabilly, I've only found Progressive Automotive advertising a truck frame to work with a C5. However, they want $19K for just a frame and coil overs; I'm just not willing to pay that much.
